The announcement of "Chapter 2" has me jazzed to step up my Arkham Horror community contribution.
Like building 8 decks for Dream Eaters and working in Canva to do a Ken Burns style recap of a full "Final Fate of Arkham" run of Chapter 1 level jazzed.

1) I found out last week that Richard Launius created the original Arkham Horror in my home city back in the 80s.
2) Someone stopped the cultists from finishing their ritual because this portal, above my city, closed itself tonight.

Happy "Week of Horror" everyone!
There is a Shoggoth's worth Arkham Files content dropping this week, but my week started with the delivery of @rosemaryjones.bsky.social's newest book on my door step. It's an awesome read, my review is below, but boy howdy was it cool to see my "name" in print.

This is what Harry Callum would have worked with at the Palace Movie Theater, Arkham's first dedicated movie theater. Harry blames the flickering otherworldly images that sometimes appear on screen on the projector's technical difficulties, but tall, dark and nickel-trimmed looks flawless in person.

10/17/1926: Auggie Olmstead met with Professor Tilde Felix, who had a background in anthropology, in regards to the Green Man medallion his girlfriend, Isabelle Barnes, owned. The item had been sent to "Izzy" by her sister Guinevere "Jenny" Barnes.

Challenge coins are a part of my work place life, so I decided to commemorate my year of sobrity in my own way. This will join my EDC and ride around with me as a reminder that not everything is as difficult as it may seem, and that perspective matters.

Yes, I keep my collection sleeved and I'm not ashamed to say I net deck every time.
This is what it takes for me to have a reasonable shot at fitting a session of the LCG I adore into my life.
Much love and appreciation to those in the community that write such amazing guides on Arkhamdb.com

Thanks to @drainsmith.bsky.social for sharing the newest copy of the Arkham Advertiser on the Arkham Horror Discord!
New products are announced, lots of great content for Terror Antartica and, what I think is, a further hint about the next LCG campaign!

Did I buy this the day it came out? Yes.
Will I have a lore article up about the 6 pre-made investigators within the week? Hell yes I will.
Will I actually start playing the campaign this year...mmmmmmmaybe.

I came home from the office, for my first night of vacation, to find Bezos having shipped @timpratt.org's next Arkham book to me.
First reaction? Total panic that I'd screwed up the release date and was late posting my early review.
All good I still have days before publication :)

If I'm not mistaken the Arkham RPG is the first time "Ashcan" Pete has had a last name provided...

Ithaqua arrived in Innsmouth the next morning to be greeted with harpoons, .45s, "Becky", a Tommy Gun, a couple of Blessed individuals and a whole lot of focus.
In the end Dexter gave up his body to contain the creature, but it was a price worth paying for the salvation of Arkham.

Is it cramped? Yes.
However, it's the spare table so in theory I can run this leisurely throughout the coming days without anyone in my home jacking up the space.
Looking forward to dealing with Ithaqua for the first time in my Arkham Files career.

Gen Con '25 events are posted and I'm excited about what Arkham Horror fans have in store.
Riverboat gangster murder is an awesome scenario hook and I'm hopeful that Betsy Baxter, the flapper detective, makes the leap to the LCG w the Film Fatale side scenario.

Well, they finally did it. They killed my organization system. As a day one buyer I didn't bother picking up the repackaged boxes, as they had nothing new for me. Now I can't use my fabulous new Tesseract set dividers for TDE or TIC. I'm going to end up spending a dumb amount of money for boxes...
